Volunteering for a clinical trial is a personal decision.
You should not participate if you are uncomfortable with
the trial or feel that it is not right for you.
There are questions you might ask yourself …
• Am I able to take the time for extra trips to the doctor that might be required?
• Am I comfortable receiving a treatment the risks and benefits of which are not completely known?
• Am I able to handle the side effects?
• Can I afford it if my insurance company does not cover the treatment?
• Is transportation a problem? Can I drive myself or take public transportation?
• Do I have a support system or caretaker who can help me through the side effects?
• Is it possible for me to miss work if necessary?
• What is it that concerns me about the study?
